Directions for useFor best results, remove activated carbon or filter cartridge from filter and continue aeration. For each 10 gallons of water, empty one packet directly into aquarium. Repeat dose after 24 hours. Wait another 24 hours and then change 25% of the aquarium water. Repeat this treatment for a second time, for a total of 4 doses. Then make a final 25% water change and add fresh activated carbon or replace filter cartridge. Treatment may be repeated if necessary.

One package treats up to 100 gallons. Four doses required for full course of treatment.

Diagnostic Chart

Infection:

Description:

Hemorrhagic Septicemia

A bacterial infection of the bloodstream. Fish may show blood streaks on the body and fins, bleeding (red patches) and localized swelling.

Mouth Fungus

Common bacterial infection that affects the mouth and other soft tissue. Fungus-like in appearance with red periphery. If left untreated, severe erosion and lesions will develop.

Open Red Sores

A bacterial infection that causes open red sores on the body. Infection can range from very small ulcers to deep skin lesions. Coloring can range from reddish or gray ulcers to very dark areas associated with necrotic (dying) tissue.

Bacterial Gill Disease

Fish may breathe heavily and show bright red gills. Fish may sit at bottom of aquarium or near the water's surface. However, visual diagnosis is often difficult.

To safeguard your aquatic life, you need to test your water parameters often and look daily for the warning signs of trouble. Because illness or trauma can worsen rapidly, it's best to have the right medications on hand to deal with the situation.

When your fish become sick or diseased, you need to take corrective action. First observe the condition of your fish, identify the type of disease, obtain information about the conditions in the aquarium, then treat the sick fish.

The best prevention against disease is to keep your fish healthy in a stress-free environment. A varied diet, stable temperature, and good water parameters are key. If they do get sick, use this selection guide to find the right medication.

Answer:

Yes, tetracycline (TTC) will damage your plants. I have a planted aquarium with very healthy plants and the leaves started to rot the moment I put TTC in it. I recommend that your use erythromycin or Maracyn-2 instead. Even those antibiotics will damage the plants if you leave them for a long time in the water. Change half of the water and put active carbon in your filter after a week and your plants will be fine.

I'm just confused. Under the 'more Information' tab where it talks about Directions for use, it states, "For each 10 gallons of water, empty one packet directly into aquarium...Repeat dose...Repeat this treatment for a second time, for a total of 4 doses.".And then then it says,"One package treats up to 100 gallons. Four doses required for full course of treatment.".Somehow this is confusing me on how many boxes of the 10 pack I would need to complete a full treatment in my 90gal tank.

Answers

Thank you for your question. We apologize for any confusion. Each package contains 10 packets. You use one packet for every 10 gallons of water. For a 90 gallon you would use 9 packets per treatment, for 4 treatments you will need 36 packets. You will need to purchase 4 packages for a total of 40 packets. cjm
